I had a fabulous intervention-free birth planned. Unfortunatley for me, I was given the green light to travel far away while actually in very pre-term labor. Our story has a happy ending but I could have used more information about how to recognize a situation turning bad fast.~Alissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029661451372100544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2311199700328665207.post-89699815703623542512010-04-27T08:38:12.316-07:002010-04-27T08:38:12.316-07:00This article is absolutely awesome.

I have all the women in my family thinking I must be crazy for choosing a home birth. I have wanted to have a home birth since forever and this article solidifies all that I already believe. Thanks much!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16719301585963492429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2311199700328665207.post-85166887075225380492010-04-27T06:00:02.287-07:002010-04-27T06:00:02.287-07:00Another consideration is often a low episiotomy ra...Another consideration is often a low episiotomy rate = a high c-section rate. I know this as a labor & delivery nurse. Moms often choose this or that provider because of a 'low epis' rate, but don't consider what exactly that may mean.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02524743273134583737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2311199700328665207.post-47269964804614819982010-04-24T10:39:40.666-07:002010-04-24T10:39:40.666-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.cecsheetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11874123603718406897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2311199700328665207.post-28899695023323281532010-04-24T10:29:39.916-07:002010-04-24T10:29:39.916-07:00Certified Nurse Midwives (CNM’s) are licensed in a...Certified Nurse Midwives (CNM’s) are licensed in all 50 states. They can attend births anywhere -- hospitals, birth centers, hotels, homes, etc.<br /><br />That said, I live just outside one of the largest cities in America. And there are only a few CNM's who would attend a homebirth for me. Either they've chosed to practice in hospitals or they don't cover my neighborhood.<br /><br />Licensing of other types of midwives (Certified Professional, Licensed, Certified, Lay, Direct-Entry) varies state to state.<br /><br />Hope that helps!

I do have a question though--I was under the impression that midwives were not licensed to attend a home birth--that only nurses and doctors were--and that they don't do it. I had such an awful hospital experience with my first (successful Bradley birth with no interventions)that I am considering a home birth. thanks for any info you can offerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00021592972714598539noreply@blogger.com
